Blue House Computing March 2024 Newsletter

This year will finally see a whole generation of Eftpos machines expire permanently. For the Ingenico range, we largely bid farewell to the trusty ICT220/250 range that have been with us since at least 2015!

Eftpos machines do expire eventually, its a way of life. If you still have one of these ICT220/250 eftpos machines, you have till the 30th of June to get them replaced. If you have a Verifone machine, such as the VX520/VX680 these machines are also going to expire at the same time. If you're not sure whether your machine is due to expire, and you're on the worldline network, you can check your terminal status here - https://terminalchecker.paymark.co.nz/

The Desk and Move5000 models are fantastic machines, we can even get them in different colours! Give us a call if you have any eftpos queries, and we'll see what we can do for you!

Good luck to Cancer Society Gisborne East Coast for the Relay for Life. We hope these help with the fundraising drive!

We love to support the Cancer Society Gisborne East Coast ❤️

We are super excited to announce that thanks to the brilliant team at Blue House Computing, we will have EFTPOS available across the weekend at Relay!! Not only does it make a massive difference for our accounting team working behind the scenes, it also makes it super easy for those visiting to give a koha at the gate, and for everybody to purchase their candle and bags for the remembrance ceremony or purchase one of our limited-edition Relay for Life t-shirts.

Cancer doesn't stop, and neither do our incredible fundraisers!! We are so proud of the efforts of our Relay for Life teams as they strive to help us reach our goal of $150,000.
You can help today by donating straight to our Gisborne Event. Simply click the link below and make a donation of your choice.
